Chicken Agrodolce (an Italian Sweet and Sour Chicken) image

This is such a unique Italian chicken dish. Chicken breasts are briefly sauteed, then simmered in a sauce of honey, balsamic vinegar, wine, orange and lemon juice. Toss in a few toasted pignoli, and you've got a quick and delicious dinner with risotto or cappellini.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I could fix that by using less sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken agrodolce turned out really dry. I think I may have overcooked the chicken.
